Chapter 284: The bond that I don't want to let go
"Leaving now?" Huo Qu was stunned, and then said at a loss: "Little viagra, what's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”
Huang Xiaowei's face was solemn, "It's nothing, I just want to take you home now, didn't you promise Meng Yao a long time ago that you would go home as soon as the matter here was over and never come back?" Okay, it's almost time now, come home with me, your mission, your mission is over. ”
Huang Xiaowei was worried, Huang Xiaowei had a deep layer of worry in his heart, he was afraid, he was afraid that Huo Qu's illness would also take the road of Wan'er, and also walk on himself, and on the ...... The road called history, called fate.
So today, regardless of the injury on his body, he forcibly rode a bicycle to Dahan, to take Huo to go home, he believed that only to go home, only to return to modern times, everything ...... That's the real end.
But Huo went to the disease...... But he is unwilling to go, and it can be said that he is unwilling to go now.
After a short period of thought, Huo Quzhi smiled brightly, "Little viagra, I will definitely go back when I go back, after all, I promised Meng Yao, so I will never break my promise, but can you wait a few days, and when I finish all the things here, you know, many people I cherish are staying here, Your Majesty, uncle, aunt, they are all my relatives, they are all very good people to me, I can't say goodbye, I have to give them an explanation." ”
Huang Xiaowei was anxious, "These are not in a hurry, can't you leave a letter?" Otherwise, or I'll take you to the palace now, and you go and say goodbye to them, and then we'll ......"
Huo Quzhi shook his head decisively, "No, little viagra, I can't be like this, I can't be sorry for them, my bonds here are very deep, not something that can be explained clearly in a few words, and ......" Huo Quzhi smiled softly, "And I also want to get their blessings, and I also want to see them, Your Majesty, my aunt, and my uncle when I marry Meng Yao in the future." ”
Huang Xiaowei was speechless.
Indeed, Huo Quzhi is right, for him, Liu Che, Wei Zifu and Wei Qing are the closest people to him, just like Huang Xiaowei's own parents and wives, if he leaves his parents and wives to live in another world, even though there are many of his relatives there, but he ...... The same would be unacceptable.
Otherwise...... Just wait, Xiaojun is nothing big anyway, just let him ..... Let's take care of everything here.
Huang Xiaowei understands history, but it is precisely because of this that he came up with the idea of letting Huo Qubing stay in Dahan temporarily, because Huo Qubing died in history very strangely, which also made Huang Xiaowei firmly believe that he did not die, he lived in another world, another time and space.
This is the reason why he didn't take Huo Qu's illness today, he thought that history was what he saw.
What's more, he has a bicycle, and he can come to Dahan in an instant.
"In that case, then...... Then you go and say goodbye to them, and then talk about the matter here, don't worry, I will come every two days, as long as you solve everything, I will take you home. Huang Xiaowei put his hand on Huo Quzhi's shoulder and said the best way he could come up with.
Huo Qu nodded heavily, and said with a smile: "Little viagra, I know, I will take care of it, and I will go home as soon as possible, after all, ...... I miss you guys so much, and I miss her too, ......"
After the two of them briefly said a few words, Huang Xiaowei rode away on his bicycle.
Looking at Huang Xiaowei, who disappeared in front of his eyes in an instant, Huo Quzhi's eyes were deep, but soon, the depth disappeared, and joy floated up.
Just as he said, he was reluctant to be a big man, reluctant to his relatives, he wanted to stay here for a while longer, and he wanted to find a proper opportunity to explain everything to his aunt and His Majesty.
He looked forward to Liu Che and them being present when he got married in the future, to be honest, that kind of scene Huo Qubing had imagined countless times in his mind, and every time there was a thick smile on the corner of his mouth.
They are all ....... Oh my loved ones.
.......
In Wei Qing's mansion.
Listening to what Wei Bu had just said, Wei Qing, who had been idle for a long time, suddenly stood up from the chair in the study and glared at Wei Bu angrily, "Uncle, are you crazy!" Are you crazy! ”
Wei Bu took the hot tea in his hand, and said calmly: "I'm not crazy, on the contrary, I'm still normal, and the choice I made is also the most powerful for Wei's." ”
Wei Qing's forehead was surging with muscles, his fists were clenched very tightly, looking at Wei Bu, the murderous aura in the tiger's eyes was surging, he couldn't control his current self, he even wanted to kill his uncle on the spot!
Looking at Wei Qing's angry look, Wei Bu smiled coldly, "Wei Qing, sit down, look at you now, what you look like, I know he is your nephew, and the old man doesn't want you to do it." ”
"But I'm not going to allow you to do anything about going sick!" Wei Qing slammed his fist on the bookcase.
Wei Bu glanced faintly and said loudly: "What, you also want to stop the old man?" Wei Qing, my General Wei, you haven't sat at home enough, have you? You're not an idler yet, are you? Can't you see the situation all these years? Don't you have any numbers in your own mind? ”
Wei Qing roared loudly, "Even if I, Wei Qing, am demoted to a common person, it is also my Wei Qing's business, it has nothing to do with others, and it has nothing to do with going to illness!" ”
Ignoring Wei Qing's roar, Wei Bu continued: "Do you remember the first battle of Hexi? I remember that you have been sitting on the cold bench since then, Ao, of course, the first battle of Hexi was a battle to the death, and His Majesty would not send you there, but what about the second battle of Hexi? Tens of thousands of elite soldiers, several veteran generals attacked the land of Hexi, and finally recovered the lost territory for a hundred years in one fell swoop, I ask you, at that time, where were you? Where is your great general, Wei Qing? Who is the real master of the Second Battle of Hexi! ”
Wei Qing's face was dull, and his body couldn't help but shake.
The last thing he wanted to mention was said by Wei Bu.
Wei Bu took advantage of the victory to pursue, stood up from the chair, looked directly into Wei Qing's eyes, and said word by word: "It's Huo Quai, it's your good nephew Huo Quai!" Do you know Wei Qing? You can be here today because of your good nephew! ”
"The battle of Hexi has nothing to do with you, without you as a general, the decisive battle of Mobei, you defeated Yi Zhixie's main force in one fell swoop, but in the end, Your Majesty did not reward or seal it, and Huo Quai? And how much did he get? Since Huo Qubing appeared, your General Wei has completely become an embarrassing foil, everyone only has Huo Qubing in their eyes, without you, they all ignore you, they all treat you as a piece of air! ”
Wei Bu sighed deeply, "Wei Qing, don't think that the old man can't see it, you have actually lived a very hard life for so many years, very bitter, look at you now, although you are a big Sima, but in fact it is an empty shelf, there is not a single soldier in your hand, and no one will listen to what you said in the court, do you know why?" Because your good nephew took everything from you, he took away the title of the god of war from you, he made your position in His Majesty's heart plummet, and he made you completely reduced to a waste! ”
Wei Qing sat down on the chair, his eyes were dim, and his face was like ashes, full of exhaustion.
"That's my business, it's better for me to get sick, it's because I don't have the ability to do it, I can't blame him........"
Wei Bu glanced at Wei Qing in surprise, surprised by his attitude, he didn't expect that he had said this, Wei Qing didn't dare to bow his head, he was still protecting the nephew who took away everything.
Seemingly...... That's all I can do.
Sitting back in the chair, Wei Bu looked directly at Wei Qing, who was pale and gray, and said lightly, "You don't care about yourself, but I want to ask you, between the prince and Huo Quai, who is your choice?" ”
Wei Qing's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Wei Bu in disbelief, "You...... What did you say? What does this have to do with the crown prince? ”
"Is it okay?" Wei Bu chuckled, "Do you really think it's okay?" Hehe, Wei Qing, you don't need me to say more about what kind of person your good nephew is, right? ”
"Now he is a veritable great Sima of my Han Dynasty, and he holds the power of the entire world in his hands! Think about it for yourself, what will he do if there is a prince who is better than the crown prince in the future? Don't tell me that he will miss the family relationship with the prince, Wei Qing, tell me, is Huo Quzhi really a person who can miss family affection? In front of the big man and family affection, what choice do you think he will make! ”
In an instant, Wei Qing was drained of all the strength in his body, and he sat down on the chair gloomily, staring gloomily at the desktop of the bookcase.
Go to the sick, it will really ...... He really would....... It can't be, it can't be, it's ......
What to do...... What the hell am I ...... What the hell should I ....... What to do.
Wei Bu didn't intend to give him time to think, but saw Wei Bu slowly get up, press against Wei Qing, and say in a deep voice.
"Now, there is only one road in front of you, and you must also go, because you are a member of my Wei clan, but he Huo Qu is not sick, for the sake of the prince, the military power must be firmly held in the hands of our Wei clan!"
"Wei Qing, think about it, I know it's very painful for you, they are all your nephews, and you can't give up any of them, but the old man wants to tell you that the prince is everything to our Wei family, and he is also the key person in my Wei family's prosperity, do you want to destroy my Wei's hundreds of years of hope for Huo Quai's illness?"
Wei Qing was still struggling.
"Yes..... But going to the disease doesn't necessarily mean ......"
Wei Bu hurriedly said: "Do you dare to bet?" Do you dare to gamble on my Wei's future to gamble on his future choices! ”
Wei Qing looked at Wei Bu in front of him in a daze, and after half a sound, he lowered his head and spit out two words in a low voice, "Don't dare." ”
Wei Bu breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands behind his back, and said leisurely: "It's hard for you, but you also have to know that although the champion Hou is from my Wei family, he has never been my Wei family's person, and you have seen how much he has targeted us over the years, not to mention, such a righteous and straight person is really not suitable to continue to stay in the court, or even to continue to live, because he is alive, which is not good for everyone." ”
"Just because he's ...... Just because he's straight! Because they can't be with you, they ...... So you have to .......," Wei Qinghu said with tears in his eyes and heartache.
Wei Bu nodded solemnly, "If you don't abide by the rules of the court, and try to break the rules, according to your words, it is indeed like this, those who can't go along with us are our enemies, Wei Qing, you should understand that Huo Qubing is not the enemy of our Wei clan alone, but the enemy of all the ministers in the entire court, you are ........ Can't keep him. ”
"Let me ........ Let me think again, or let me ...... Think again. Wei Qing closed his tearful eyes tiredly and said.
Wei Bu looked at him and shook his head, "General Wei, there is not much time for us to hesitate now, Huo Qu's illness has already become the climate, and if you start one day later, the position of the crown prince will be in danger for a day, we must ensure the safety of the crown prince, and we must make sure that it is the crown prince who can ascend the throne as the emperor in a hundred years!" This is what our Wei clan needs! ”
Wei Qing closed his eyes and refused to speak.
At this time, Wei Bu raised his eyebrows and came to Wei Qing's side and said lightly.
"The old man heard that His Majesty intends to launch the Second Mobei War."
In an instant, Wei Qing's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened at this moment, and inside, there were no tears, and the essence was surging.
Wei Bu said at the right time, "Huo Qu's illness is no longer over, who will be the commander of the Battle of Mobei?" As long as Huo Qu is no longer sick, you Wei Qing will still be the Great Sima of the Great Han, and your Wei Qing will still be the God of War of my Great Han, no one will treat you as air, and no one will dare! ”
Wei Bu looked at Wei Qing with a smile, "How about it, General Wei, you can think about it now, right?" ”
.........
Wei Qing's heart....... In the end, he was still moved by Wei Bu's words.
Re-become the god of war of the Han Dynasty and re-take charge of the military power of the Han Dynasty....... This temptation is very big for Wei Qing, especially big!
Because he's tasted loss, he's tasted neglected, that kind of taste...... Wei Qing really didn't want to continue to experience it.
........
Half an hour later, Wei Bu walked away, and left with a smile, and sitting in the carriage, he instructed the coachman, "Go to the palace and see Niangniang." Then, Wei Bu stretched out his hand to open the carriage curtain, and waved his hand at Wei Qing, who was out of the mansion to see him off, and a hint of a meaningful smile appeared in the cloudy old eyes.
Looking at the carriage that Wei Bu was leaving, Wei Qing, who was standing in front of the mansion, swayed, leaned on the doorpost, and sat on the ground a little, little by little.
Looking at his powerful hands, Wei Qing was already in tears, leaning his head on the doorpost behind him, and Wei Qing whispered in pain.
"I'm sorry, uncle, I don't have a choice."
Looking up at the sky, Wei Qing, whose eyes were full of tears, shook his head lightly and whispered, "It would be nice if I hadn't experienced those things from the beginning." ”
It's a pity, I've experienced it, I've experienced what it's like to be the god of war of the Han Dynasty, and I've experienced what it's like to be admired.
Once you have it, you don't want to lose it, you don't want to get sick........ Uncle really can't help it, uncle really doesn't have a choice!
.........
In the hall of the pepper house.
Wei Bu made a big salute to Wei Zifu, who was sitting in the right position, very seriously, "The old minister is acting on behalf of the Wei family, and on behalf of His Royal Highness the Prince, thank you Niangniang." ”
Wei Zifu, who also had tears in his eyes, closed his watery eyes, bit his red lip, and said hoarsely: "Uncle...... It doesn't have to be like this, this palace knows what the overall situation is, you can rest assured, this palace will not miss the overall situation and my Wei family because of those personal feelings........ A hundred years of great cause. ”
Wei Bu nodded solemnly, "Niangniang can have such a feeling, the old minister will be relieved, Niangniang, the old minister knows that you are also very uncomfortable now, but...... If you can't break your wrist by a strong man, how can I, Wei, stand tall in this big man? ”
"Only if the crown prince succeeds to the throne, it can! Only the prince is a descendant of my Wei family, so he can do it! On the contrary, Da Sima, anyone can be the one, not to mention that after the death of the champion Hou, the military power of this great man is most likely to return to the hands of General Wei. ”
Hearing these words, Wei Zifu endured the pain in his heart, "If Uncle is fine, please leave and leave the palace alone...... A ....... Be still. ”
Seeing that Wei Zifu was in a bad mood, Wei Bu didn't fail to understand her, so Wei Bu immediately retired and left the Jiaofang Palace.
When Wei Zifu was the only one left in the Jiaofang Palace, a low cry finally sounded.
But what's the use of that? She still made her own choice in the end, and she still abandoned the young man who treated her like a mother.
Compared with Wei Qing's hesitation, compared to Wei Qing's reluctance to give up, Wei Zifu was much simpler, because the question Wei Bu asked her was also very simple.
"Does Niangniang want the champion Hou to live, or does she want His Royal Highness Liu Ju to succeed to the throne?"
That's the simple multiple-choice question.
Do you want a nephew or a son?
What do you think she will choose? How do you think this woman with a deep city will choose?
Remember, when Wei Bu saw Wei Zifu for the first time, he asked this sentence directly and straight to the point.
He knew that Wei Zifu understood everything, and he knew that Wei Zifu didn't need to say so much and spend so much tongue like he did when he treated Wei Qing.
After so many years of palace battles, Wei Zifu is no longer the ignorant girl who just married into the deep palace back then, she sees everything very clearly, and her desire for power is even to a heinous level, but all this is ...... It's all hidden under her gentle face.
Wei Zifu is a woman, she doesn't have as deep thoughts as Wei Bu and these people, what makes Wei carry forward, what makes Wei the first family of the Han Dynasty, she doesn't.
She only wants her son to be the emperor, she only wants to make herself ....... When the Queen Mother.
So when that multiple-choice question was placed in front of her, Wei Zifu almost didn't hesitate.
She couldn't choose the former, she could only choose the latter, because the latter was her own son, and the former ...... Just her nephew.
This is Wei Bu's cleverness, he doesn't discuss with Wei Zifu about the rise and fall of the family, nor does he discuss with Wei Zifu how much Huo Quzhi is an eyesore to the Wei family, let alone tell Wei Zifu that Huo Qubing has become the public enemy of the courtiers, he only asks her, "Do you want a son or a nephew?" ”
........
In the Jiaofang Palace, the crying pear blossom with the rain Wei Zifu, holding his heart that was constantly twitching, looked at the scene outside the hall.
That delicate face had already cried into tears, she looked at the blue sky and white clouds, looked at the Han Palace, and sobbed and murmured.
"Go to the sick....... Don't blame your aunt, you really can't lose the position of the prince. Go to the sick, you'll understand, right? You're so fond of evidence, you must be ...... Willing to sacrifice for him, right? ”
"To get sick, my aunt can't help it, my aunt really ...... No way. ”
In the Jiaofang Palace, crying did not stop.
..........
In the Weiyang Palace.
Liu Che sat silently in front of the bookcase alone, but he sat with his back to him.
In the past, Liu Che had always sat upright, because this was in line with what a generation of emperors should look like, but today....... But he sat with his back sitting, and this sitting exposed a lot, such as his stiff back.
If Liu Che's current appearance was seen, ordinary people would definitely be surprised, because no one would have thought that His Majesty, who was in the prime of life, and His Majesty who was in high spirits, would have such a restrained back....... It doesn't look like a middle-aged man, but more like an old man who has gone through vicissitudes.
Liu Che knows, he knows everything.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Che has been sitting for two hours after receiving the news, not letting anyone enter Weiyang Palace, he is the only one, sitting silently, thinking silently.
Holding a bamboo slip in his hand, a piece of good news, a bamboo slip from five years ago, and a ....... Good news five years ago.
In just two hours, Liu Che's eyes were bloodshot, which showed how anxious he was in his heart.
Clenching the good news in his hand that had never left his side in the past five years, Liu Che held his back, lowered his head, half-squinted, and loosened his hand holding the good news.......
"Kill, don't kill."
"Kill, don't kill."
"Kill, don't kill."
Letting go of the good news in his hand, Liu Che muttered the word "kill", clenched the good news in his hand, Liu Che muttered "Don't kill." ”
In this way, he kept muttering, and kept choosing in his heart.
For two hours, he was doing all of this for these two hours, all of which was to ask himself about the two choices, "Kill, don't kill!" ”
That's how the bloodshot in his eyes came, and so did his restrained back, and even Liu Che's black hair had more than a dozen gray hairs in the past two hours.
"Kill, don't kill."
"Kill, don't kill."
"Kill, don't kill."
"Kill!" Reading this word, Liu Che's eyes flashed with a fine light, and the good news in his hand was not loosened, but was still clenched by him, and the big hand holding the good news was surging with green tendons.
He seemed to be about to make some kind of decision, he seemed to .......
"Don't kill."
The light in Liu Che's eyes disappeared, and the big hand holding the good news also loosened, allowing the bamboo slip to fall from his hand to the thigh, it can be clearly seen that when he said the words "don't kill", Liu Che's face showed a touch of relief, but soon, tangled with a little anger and sorrow came up.
This heroic emperor has never been so entangled, and he has never been so helpless because of a person.
He didn't want to kill, but he ....... But he couldn't help but kill.
Liu Che, who began to make choices over and over again, gently stroked the bamboo slip in his hand, and a bitter and helpless smile appeared on his face, "How good would it be if you died in Mobei?" Why did I torture myself so much? ”
"Kill, don't kill."
"Kill, don't kill."
"Kill, don't kill."
In the secluded Weiyang Palace, all that came out was the low voice of His Majesty, when he was secretly making a choice.
Kill, don't kill.
What a helpless and heartbreaking choice.
.........
This is Huo Quai's relatives, this is Huo Quai's relatives who can't let go, and they don't want to cut off the bonds.
Liu Che's sentence is quite right, the fate of a hero should be to die on the battlefield, to die in the last battle, or even to fall under the last feather arrow.
Because that is good for everyone, the dead hero is the hero who is truly remembered and awe-inspired.
And the living heroes....... Returned home with a great victory and stepped into the court.......
As Jiang Yuan said.
"That kind of person lives and is not good for everyone."
